Game 14, 2025-26: at Eastern Michigan (12/30)

[Floridafan71]

Bad loss. Why was Damjanac in so long. HE doesnot shoot a three. He isnot a shotblocker. He doesnort rebound. He doesnot hold onto balls. He just passes the ball to others. Seems to have no feel for the game at all. Why not anyone else? Why does Frank play him over Outlaw or a shooter? Its like 5 versus four when I see him in there.

[JoleonLescottsHair]

Would you rather be 0-2 in the A10 or MAC? Personally I’d prefer the A10 but it obscures the larger point that Frank is completely done (the switch ain’t turning back on) and Bamford fucked over our entire department in the interest of the worst team in FBS. Lovely shit.

[MakeMullinsGreatAgain]

is the MAC better than we thought or do we just suck?

The MAC is a solid, physical league and our team is averse to contact. Clerc and Carbuccia are the only guys not afraid to mix it up.

That team wasn't that good. We played like shit.

then it's on Frank! Green Bay sucked - yet people said we played like shit - Marshall is not that good - people said we played like shit. Chareltson? never shoulda lost that either. I think it boils down to these guys give 110% 6 days a week and Frank just sucks the life out of you when you do one thing bad. At what point do we start to blame the coach?

I wish I was paid $2million to suck at my job

[NilesGold]

Still giving DHS a green light to shoot 3's is malpractice, with today's 0-5 he will probably drop below 20% on the season. Wimbley continues to be an anchor but Frank keeps playing him.

This game doesn't even matter, the season is already over, this team stinks and the program is going to limp along until Frank only has a year left on his fat contract because we can't afford to buy him out. What a disaster of a hire he's been.

This school should never pay a basketball coach that much money ever again.

This team will go as far as Frank's ability, and willingness, to game plan, and make adjustments. He seems to be a "this is how we do it" kind of guy, and if that doesn't get it done, it's still square peg, round hole, only hit it harder.

Yup

[devildawg3010]

Just drop down to FCS. The experiment has failed.

Whoops wrong sport.

Slightly off-topic but perhaps DK should get a little damn respect for getting us to an NIT Final Four, NCAA Tournament, ranked as high as #12, good crowds at Mullins, helping create an organized, passionate student section (Mullins Militia), and having an all-time player who, IMO, should have his #3 retired.

People on this board still ignore the DK Era or trash it. How have we been since?????

FIRE BAMFORD

Love Dk but unfortunately I think there were some shady things happening behind the scenes and they had no choice but to get rid of him. I don't personally care how he got guys, especially with NIL now, but he had one of the best recruiting classes ever and got fired the next year and two of them went on to be huge contributors to Houstons Final Four team in 2021.

and at the end of the day whatever DK did couldn't have been that bad if they let him come back to be an assistant for Frank. Heck - I wouldn't be pissed if he took over for Frank. I think Derek is arguably just as good a recruiter and the kids would actually enjoy playing for him.

..

When DK was the coach it was the only time in the last 25 years that I truly bought in as a fan

As for the this game it was a disappointment. We got bullied and maybe that is MAC basketball. I still think we have have the right pieces to be competitive.

[MikeUMA]

why on earth recruit a guard who cant shoot...dumb dumb dumb...

Who are you referring to?

Still giving DHS a green light to shoot 3's is malpractice, with today's 0-5 he will probably drop below 20% on the season.

I second this. DHS has been pretty good in the paint for the last month, but he hurts the team when he takes threes. The 0-5 tonight slides him down to 4-24 (.167) on the season, and .194 since November 2024.

The 5 attempts tonight were a season high. I was multi-tasking during the game but at least one of his shots was early in the shot clock, with :19 remaining. That's just unacceptable.

Is he hitting them in practice?? I just can't figure out why he keeps taking them.

[MikeUMA]

We shot .667 from the line tonight which RAISES our season average, to .653, still dead last in the MAC, and somewhere around 330 nationally (out of 361 as measured by NCAA.com).

[inthescoop]

Eastern Michigan was not a good team, this just shows how low we’ve gotten

Last place in the MAC? Why not

[kd68]

Very disappointing considering we down graded our program to a league we were suppose to dominant. Hope we do something when the MAC tournament comes around, assuming we make it.

[UMass1991]

0-2 in a league many of you said was sub-par to the A10

[TheInsider]

Eastern coach makes 375k a year and DHS probably makes more in NIL than the whole eastern team.. again there's a common denominator to the suck.. Bamford
